HIstamine is a biomolecular compound located in various parts of body. It participated in various important cellular activities associated with allergy and asthma. This magic bio-molecule is directly and indirectly involved in various biochemical reactions through G-protein couple receptors. Various histamine receptors and their unexplored biochemical activities attracted many biologists in last few decades. A surprising discovery of histamine H(4) receptor was done when scientist worked on histamine H(3) receptor in brain cells. The binding pocket of histamine H(4) differs by transmembrane domains (TM3, TM5 and TM6) from histamine H(3)-sub type. In this review, we enlightened various functions of histamine H(4) and use of histamine H(4) receptor antagonists in autoimmune diseases, allergic responses, inflammatory responses, and in superoxide generation which are helpful to establish H(4) receptor antagonists as newer anti histamines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
